While a simple solitaire will never go out of style – and has always been the most popular choice for a diamond engagement ring – the gorgeous and remarkable trends that have glimmered over the last century may be great points of inspiration. For the magpies among us, we’ve compiled ten decades of engagement ring fashions that continue to symbolize the love shared between happy couples.

Since the 1600s, Mokume Gane has been celebrated as an intricate Japanese metalworking art, originally inspired the ancient art of Damascus steel sword making. With Mokume Gane, wondrous, nature-inspired decorative patterns were hand-hammered to craft the handles and sheaths of katanas. Mokume Gane blades were a reflection and symbol of status in feudal Japan – specifically in samurai society – and the intricacies of each piece were intended to impress. Today, Mokume Gane is most often showcased in jewelry pieces.

We guarantee that we will only support environmentally responsible suppliers – and you can choose to go even further as ‘your’ trees are planted in an ancient forest under threat. Perhaps one day, you will go and visit ‘your’ tree, but even if you don’t, your jewelry will remind you that somewhere in Africa, a tree is reaching towards the sky because you chose Labro.
